COFFEE-Pers."

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Be it known that I, J. B. SMITH, of the cityand county of Milwaukee, and State of Wisconsin, have invented a, newand useful Improvement in Coi`ee-Pots; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is-a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, which willenable those skilled in the art tomake and useithe same, reference beinghad to the acc-ompanyingdrawing, forming part of this specilcatiominwhich- Figure 1 is a perspective View, f

Figure 2 a. sectional View, and

Figure 3 top, with the cover and spout-lid removed.

Similar` lettersiof reference in each ofthe figures indicatecorresponding parts.

The object of my invention is 'to construct 'a coffee-pot, in whichcoifee can be made at all' times, so as to retain the aroma of theberry, and this with certainty; and this I do by vmaking a. coffee-potdouble,'with a water-space between the outside and inside pot, soA thatwhen this water-space is filled or partlylled with Water, l

it may boil without the co'eehoiling in the inner pot.

A'is the outsidepot, inside pot. lThis outsideand inside pot areconnected together bythe covering of the space between them at the top,as shown in fig. 3, and also by the spout D. lIn the larger coifee-potslput stays from the innerto the outer pot at the bottom. C, the cover oftheinner pot; D, spout through which to pour the coffee; E, spout-lid;F, handle; G, spout,'through which water is poured into and out from thespace between the outer and'inner pot. l

Y Operation.

P ut the coffee, burned and groundias used, into pot B, and pour in thenecessary amount of boiling water, close cover C and lid E. Then tillwith boiling Waterthe sp'ace'between the pots half full, more or less,as you may like; pouring the water through spout G. Then set the pot onthe stove'or` over the re, when the water in the space may boil; thesteam passing off through spout G. The water in the inner pot will notboil, but will be kept just at the boiling point. The vapor rising fromit not having force enough-to lift the lid or cover,

the aroma of the c'o'ee is all retained in the pot'. lWhen the coffee ismade, it can be poured olf through spout l D without the water betweenthe pots running out. The covering, which closes the space between them,keeps the water back. This water can be poured out (by tippingthecoEee-pot the other way) through spout G.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isf A coffee-pot, consisting of the inner vessel B and the outer vesselA., with a Water-space between themr united at their top by an annularplate, havingv an opening, Gr, at the rear side only 'for theintroduction of water, substantially as described.
